Duffey Director, United States Information Agency As Pat and I drove over here this afternoon, she asked me with a twinkle in her eye if I ever got nostalgic for NASULGC. It's a little like a class reunion coming back today. I want to begin by expressing my sense of honor at this invitation and also byexpressing my &eat admiration and respect for Clif Wharton, who will be with you later this evening. Almost every dly since the 26th of June at 9 o'clock in the morning I have met with Clif Wharton in a small group at the State Department. He has chaired many of those meetings in the absence of the Secretary. He has served this country extraordinarily with great distinction and excellence, and he deserves our gratitude. Washington is a strange place. Some of you remember the novelist Allen Nevins who once said the following of Washington. Nevins in his own time was speaking with the gender reference that we would modify today, but he said Washington is a city where good men do evil, and evil men do good in a way that is so complexing that only Americans understand it, and they're confused half the time. I don't think Allen Nevins was speaking of One Dupont Circle. I may take some different tacts in these remarks today than were expected, but I want to try to make some observations about the role of the United States in the world, which sometimes we refer to as foreign policy because I think we can arrive at some perceptions about the tasks and the responsibilities of those who lead America's colleges and universities at the end of the twentieth century if we begin with that theme. But there's another reason for beginning at that point.It's evident from the debates and the frustrations of the last several weeks that the question of what the role of the United States should be today among the wider community of nations is a matter of concern and puzzlement to many Americans and perhaps to some of their leaders. This is clearly one of themajor intellectual, ti moral, and policy questions that face our nation today. And it's easy to understand why this should be the case. We have seenthe end of an era -- the Cold War -- a way of thinking thathelped to defme our sense of duties and responsibilities as a nation and set ournational agenda for more than four decades. Just this week a Times-Mirror poll looked at attitudes of American leaders in the fields of education, business, and government. The poll was done within the last three weeks. The studyconcluded, in the words of the report, that most of those surveyed "are dubious about whether many of the ideals that have guided the foreign policy of the United States for half a century can do so today." But the report continued, "yet even as they complain about America's lack of direction and coherence, they are themselves uncertain about what America's place in the new world should be." Without the clarity of a new set of assumptions about our role in the world what are we to do? How are we to behave in the world of foreign affairs? As a nation we are rightly preoccupied now with our domestic problems. They should be of major concern. There is the plight of millions of children here in our own country -- and not all of them from families of poverty. There is the sense that many of our schools are failing. There is a loss of credibility in leadership in many institutions even beyond government. There is a rising crime rate in many of the cities that matches cities in partsof the globe we used to call the Third World. There is a menacing national debt that grows exponentially -- that got out of control when we raised the stakes for the arms race during the 1980's, perhaps hastening an end to the Cold War -- but that today grows even as we try to restrain spending at a rate of about a trillion dollars during each four yearcycle of the federal government. The slowdown of economic growth that seems to be a chronic condition of advanced industrial nationsand not just a short-term phenomenon, which hasleft underemployed already millions of Americans, is also an issue of great concern. How do we return to the kind of growth we need to sustain both the government, the aspirations, and the institutions to which wehave grown accustom? President Clinton hasrightly said that the renewal of our own economy and our society is in fact a first priority in setting 2 6 our course in the international arena.
